IMG_2065.jpgFleabag Generosity265 viewsWe have a guy locally who teaches handtool woodworking to grade school kids. The school's tools are well past worn, and he put out a plea on Craigslist for "... any of these: clamps of different types (particularly smaller ones), block planes, braces for drilling, hand crank drills, drawknives, files and other shaping tools, and maybe a spokeshave or two. Other tools are always appreciated." The Fleabags responded with this.madwing
